balakech Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 is there any set rules for how much clotting factors the FFP should have. I know there is no quality control test required here in the USA.If there is no rules, what is the minimum amount acceptable by most experts here? thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donellda Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 I'm not quite sure what you are asking but I think you want to know if the clotting factors in a unit of FFP are measured before it released from the donor center. The only real QC that I know of is that the FFP must be frozen within 6-8 hours of collection, depending on the anticoagulant used, in order for the plasma to retain the level of reactivity of the coagulation factors. The FFP contains 1U/ml of the clotting factors. I believe that the only testing done is the testing for all of the disease markers. Sorry I can't be more helpful.
